Hi! We just moved to the Hudson Valley area of NY state a month ago, and think our girl is really missing greyhound play dates with the local greyhound community from back home. She doesn’t really care for other dogs truth be told, but she seems to enjoy playing with other greyhounds.
Is there anyone in this area who would be open to occasional play dates or has any suggestions for places to take our girl for fun? The local dog parks scare us a bit since we’ve had multiple neighbors tell us their dogs have been attacked there.
Thanks for any tips!We just moved FROM the Hudson Valley. Sadly, there are no close greyhound adoption groups (and one sorta close one you don't want to deal with). I did make a greyhound friend via this very forum so good luck.
By the way Mercury said the MidHudson Bridge is delicious.

Have you tried pressing various areas of her belly?

LaVida looks very fetching with that cattypiller.

I saw that one (you had posted it in another thread). I'm still concerned that anything that relies of evaporation won't work in our humidity.

Camp Greyhound has an indoor pool. Jus' sayin....
We have an outdoor pool and I can't wait to get Jupiter into it. So far, it's been a big NOPE but maybe as it gets even hotter....
You may remember my Mercury got used to the pool.... eventually.

I've read all the threads on heat management that I could find (including mentions of our beloved Rocket
in the desert) but still have a few questions regarding cooling coats.
It's early June at 79 degrees at 7 a.m. We keep our walks early and stay on sidewalks or grass avoiding pavement whenever possible. After a 30-40 minute walk, Jupiter seems to cool down within 10-15 minutes (we delay breakfast until he's cool). Morning's will only get hotter so I'm considering a cooling coat. But... physics. The humidity here ranges from 95-1000%
. I don't think a wet coat will work as it won't evaporate.
I'm happy for all suggestions for other types of cool coats or other products. (Yes, yes, we will be having a discussion of leather boots for hot pavements). Thanks in advance

As usual, I’m late to the party but happy to hear she’s doing well. I see lots of ETS in her future.

It’s totally a thing. 🖤

Oh yeah!!!!

On hot days, during our pre-dinner walk, Jupiter will lead me straight to the vacant lot and poop. That's his signal he does not want to go even to the end of the road for a walk. As we have a long morning walk/jog, I figure it's o.k. After all, it's frickin' hot out there. I don't want to walk either.

It was kind of funny hearing the vet tech panic a little trying to get Rowan out of the crate to go home. In typical greyhound fashion, he was sleeping and didn't see any reason to leave his comfy nest.
A solid fact about greyhounds: They have their priorities.

The tail stayed straight up for over an hour. We were cracking up. Eventually it went down very, very slowly and rested against her foot.

And duck tape the cupboard shut.
My thought was to hide all the treats except that day's allotment.
Unjustifiably pissed? Nope. Not at all. If all communication is via text or note, how about something like, "This treat situation is out of control. If you cannot abide by my express orders to give only X treats per day, I will have to find a new walker". It sounds harsh but you have done about all you can do at this point.

How wonderful to see my boy in action! I haven't gotten around to looking up his race videos yet.
I find it hella amusing that you can see his scaly elbows in the picture. A couple of weeks of Aquaphor and they're much better.
Thank you!!!!

We're going for the first time. I wonder what Jupiter will make of it (and the two day drive).

Can't you just put the bag right under Ollie so it doesn't hit the ground. That's what I do no matter where she goes.
It's easiest if you use a plastic grocery bag because you can open them wide.
